Mulayam contesting from Azamgarh seat to please his 2nd wife: Mayawati

‘There is a dispute going on in Mulayam’s family. He is contesting from here (Azamgarh) to please his second wife and pave way for their son Prateek Yadav,’ she told an election rally here.

On chief minister Akhilesh Yadav referring to her as his ‘bua’ (aunt) at a recent public meeting in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati said it would be an ‘insult’ even to consider him (Akhilesh) as her younger brother.

‘Akhilesh used to insult dalit icons. He terms construction of memorials in their names as wastage of money despite the fact it generates income for the state,’ she said.
